PURPOSE/REQUIRED ACTION: The purpose of this agenda item is for Council to have an opportunity for additional discussion regarding the Community Recreation Center Master Plan and the results of a related survey. BACKGROUND (Include prior Council action & discussion): The City has been discussing and planning for the replacement of the existing community center for many years. A 2005 recreation facility needs assessment concluded that the former Burien Community Center (now known as The Annex) should be replaced with a multipurpose facility that would include family-oriented recreation activities and services for people of many ages, and to acquire the Burien Public Library and remodel of the facility to accommodate programs for seniors as well as arts, recreation and community services (see LINK A). The Council budgeted for a master plan process and a contract was awarded to Opsis Architecture in June 2007. The master plan process for a facility design of the proposed recreation center was completed in early 2008 (see LINK B). This process involved significant public participation, stakeholder meetings, and numerous opportunities for public input. The outcome of the design process was a plan for a 66,000 sq ft multi-purpose recreation facility that responded to the community’s expressed needs and desires for such a facility (see LINK C). In addition to the master plan, a business plan was also developed to better understand the proposed facility’s projected operating costs and revenues (see LINK D). A survey of the community was also conducted of 6,000 households to sample public opinion about a possible voted bond measure to fund construction . On February 25, 2008 the Council reviewed outcomes of the design process, the site plan, concept plans, construction options and cost estimates, business plan and pro-forma, as well as reviewed the results of the community survey. The Council directed the formation of an Ad Hoc Committee to consider the funding issues, and it was tasked with formulating recommendations for the project. This group chaired by Councilmember Sue Blazak, along with representatives from the City’s advisory boards and commissions, held several meetings and reached its conclusions. Councilmember Blazak shared the outcomes of the Committee’s discussions with the Council in June 2008 (see Attachment 2). For this project to move forward, additional planning and resources would be needed to develop basic plan drawings, develop and update a more complete cost estimate, and to further develop funding options for eventual construction.

2012 PROS PlanRecommendation:

“The wood frame facility has deterioratedThe wood frame facility has deterioratedsignificantly; lacks fire sprinklers; does not meet ADA requirements; does not meet seismic requirements; has inefficient central boiler heat; contains asbestos; has outmoded youth bathrooms; and does not meet current standards. While the buildings have been maintained to allow nonprofit agencies space, the facility has outlived its physical and economic life and needs to be replaced.”

43

2012 PROS PlanRecommendation:

If current community center facility is to beIf current community center facility is to beretained with current uses, then components of the plan should be reduced accordingly –possibly downsizing or deleting the spaces to be devoted to senior programs and the multipurpose social hall, and the Family Recreation Center should be the highest priority. This could also reduce parking requirements and the additional land acquisitions originally proposed may not be needed.
